| Résumé |
Lower hours of work, professionnal qualifications and unemployment.
This paper analyses the consequences of lower hours of work within the framework of a small open economy with skilled and unskilled workers. There is an incentive constraint on the wages of the skilled workers whereas the wages of the unskilled workers is the minimum wages. It is shown that lowering hours of work of the unskilled workers : 1) increases unemployement when the wages income does not change, 2) does decrease unemployment of the non skilled workers only if their utility level diminishes, 3) increases total production under certain assumptions.
